If you love your Apple devices, you expect your apps to feel just as polished. The truth? Most productivity tools still miss the mark. Some are powerful but clunky. Others look nice but basic.
Craft bridges that gap. With its new Liquid Glass update, Craft pushes the experience forward across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Every interaction feels fast, fluid, and natural — like the app was made for the hardware it runs on.

Craft doesn’t just run on Apple platforms — it feels like it was made for them. Whether you’re on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, every version of Craft is optimized to bring out the strengths of the device in your hand. The continuity is intentional, and it shows in how consistent and fluid the experience feels across your Apple ecosystem.
With the new Liquid Glass design update, Craft introduces a lighter, more focused visual language that brings a modern, premium feel to every platform:
On iPhone: simplified navigation and quick actions make capturing ideas and planning your day a single tap away.
On iPad: touch gestures, Apple Pencil, and the bigger canvas create an immersive, distraction-free space for writing and organizing.
On Mac: a keyboard-first, high-performance experience makes deep work and longform writing natural and seamless.
The Liquid Glass design is live across all platforms, offering a consistent, elegant interface wherever you work. No matter the device, it feels seamless — and uniquely Apple.
Offline, on-device AI
Unlike most AI tools, Craft’s assistant works offline, right on your device — thanks to Apple’s Foundation Models.
That means you can write, summarize, rephrase, and translate without sending your content to the cloud. It’s fast, private, and always available — even on an airplane or in a no-signal zone.
You can choose between Apple’s on-device models and cloud-powered options depending on your needs. Either way, Craft lets you keep full control of your content — which is increasingly rare in today’s productivity landscape.
This is AI that respects your privacy and your workflow.
A real alternative to Apple Notes and Notion
If Apple Notes feels too limited, and Notion too complex — Craft is your sweet spot.
It’s fast. It’s structured. It’s elegant.
Craft brings your ideas, plans, and tasks into one streamlined system:
Notes that scale into structured docs
Tasks that live right inside your writing
Collections to organize multi-step projects or research
to organize multi-step projects or research Tags to stay organized without the chaos
Everything connects. You can brainstorm, plan, write, and organize — all without switching between apps or windows.
The team rolled out tags over the summer, and the September updates made them faster to browse and easier to apply as you write.
Once tagging becomes second nature, you stop thinking about categorization and simply find what you need with minimal effort. Tags tie everything together, giving you flexible ways to filter, organize, and connect your content.
Collections: Powerful, structured documents
Craft’s Collections make it easy to organize complex work — from project briefs and editorial calendars to event planning and research databases.
The latest update adds new field types like percentages, currency, email, and phone, so you can tailor each Collection to the job at hand. These aren’t just docs — they’re smart, structured spaces that adapt to how you work.
Tasks: Built right into your writing
Craft’s Tasks live directly inside your notes, so your to-dos stay connected to the context where they belong. With the new Tasks tab, the team added practical filters that mirror how people plan their week: Inbox for quick captures, Today for focused action, Upcoming for a look ahead, and All Tasks for global visibility.
Combined with Collections and tags, you can manage ideas and execution in one place — without bouncing between a task manager and your notes app.
Craft on iPad shows what modern software should feel like
The first thing you notice with Craft’s Liquid Glass update is how at home it feels on iPad.
Craft’s update is a concrete example of what a modern iPad app can be. It treats the tablet as the primary canvas and uses the platform’s latest design system with restraint. It brings private, offline intelligence to writing and planning. It also links notes, tasks, tags, and structured Collections into a workflow that scales from school to work.
If you’ve been waiting for software that makes the iPad feel like a first-class productivity machine, Craft’s Liquid Glass release earns a prime spot on your iPad.
Get started with Craft
Download Craft on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Create a new doc. Capture a few ideas. Turn one into a task. Add a couple of tags. Watch how quickly it all just clicks.
When the project grows, promote it into a Collection and choose fields that fit your workflow. Need a summary or translation? Switch the assistant to Apple’s Foundation Models and keep everything on-device.
Then open that same doc on your Mac or iPhone and see how naturally everything carries over.
This is what productivity should feel like on Apple.
